I would hope for something like that but perhaps with Fernando in there and Silva moving into Navas' place.

Yes please.

No thanks. Aguero won't be up to speed and if he was picked to start against WBA and got injured you'd all be throwing your toys out of the pram on here, as would I.

I tend to agree with you but I just can't see Pellegrini playing 3 CMs, especially not against a team like West Brom, possibly against the big teams.

Can't see why not. 4 weeks off and back in training for 2 weeks. If a player was injured for 4 weeks, we'd probably expect him to be back playing after 2 weeks in training. I guess it depends how he is looking in training.

If we want him to start against Chelsea, we'll probably want to have him playing some part in this match.

Off the bench maybe. He's been in training just over a week. Silly to compare it to an injury, most of injury recovery would be what most people call training.

I think Sergio's too small for goalie.

My inner Stuart Pearce told me to give Joe a chance to lead the line.

What I meant was that if a player isn't able to train for 4 weeks, I would think he would be back up to speed after 2 weeks of training. As a professional athletes, I would assume they would keep themselves reasonably fit during the summer. Some are perhaps naturally fitter than others and need less time. Other teams have had their South Americans playing games already.

Pellegrini will hopefully have some idea of how ready they are after seeing them in training.
